Brief: For decades Nutri-Grain has touted itself as being an ideal cereal if you want to grow up to be big and strong. With taglines like Iron Man Food and helps fuel growing boys, TV ads depicting athletic boys growing into athletic men eating the product and the on-pack claims protein for muscle development, calcium for bone strength and carbs for energy, Nutri-Grain promises a lot, but does it deliver?
Investigation report: Nutri-Grain fails to meet most criteria for a healthy cereal with its very low fibre content, and high levels of both sugar and salt. The protein content of the milk you add dwarfs that included in the cereal. It most certainly is not an appropriate choice for a growing child, especially those aspiring to a career in sport or fitness.
Rosemary Stanton: "Not even the added vitamins and minerals can make up for that fact that this product is almost one-third sugar. An elite iron man may burn off the kilojoules, but no amount of exercise will protect his teeth. Parents and kids are being conned by any idea that Nutri-Grain is a healthy product."
Preheat the oven to 180degC.
Measure the first seven ingredients into a bowl. Add the hot water and mix with a fork and/or potato masher until everything is combined.
Spray or butter a 23cm square or 25x20cm rectangular ovenware dish or a suitable roasting pan or foil dish. Spread one third of the meat mixture evenly over the bottom, followed by a layer of half the lasagne noodles. Repeat this layer and cover with the remaining meat mixture (you may like to use more than a third of the meat mixture for the top layer).
Bake immediately, uncovered, for 50 minutes, or cover and microwave on High (100% power) for 30 minutes.
To make the topping, mix together the cornflour, egg, milk and cheese. Pour evenly over the cooked mixture, sprinkle with the paprika and bake, uncovered, at 150°C for about 10 minutes until the topping sets or microwave at 50% (Medium power) for 10 minutes.
Leave to stand 15-30 minutes before cutting into squares or rectangles. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Cut into serving-sized pieces and wrap in cling film for freezing. Reheat in a moderate oven or microwave. Week 6 Cannelloni
